Sovereign by C J Sansom

The third novel in the Matthew Shardlake Tudor Mystery series--the inspiration for the Hulu original series Shardlake!

C. J . Sansom has garnered a wider audience and increased critical praise with each new novel published. His first book in the Matthew Shardlake series, Dissolution, was selected by P. D. James in The Wall Street Journal as one of her top five all-time favorite books. Now in Sovereign, Shardlake faces the most terrifying threat in the age of Tudor England: imprisonment in the Tower of London.

Shardlake and his loyal assistant, Jack Barak, find themselves embroiled in royal intrigue when a plot against King Henry VIII is uncovered in York and a dangerous conspirator they've been charged with transporting to London is connected to the death of a local glazer.

Awarded the CWA Diamond Dagger - the highest honor in British crime writing

C.J. Sansom, author of the globally bestselling novels Winter in Madrid and Dominion, as well as the Matthew Shardlake Tudor Mystery series, has a Ph.D. in history. Before becoming a full-time writer, he earned a bachelor's degree in history and worked as a lawyer.
